After all the times I've ended up in lowpop with blobs, or had something I've tried to do be paralyzed by them, or tried to kill them with a ship only to find I couldn't get through the ONE layer in front of the nucleus because the mining laser cutters are too slow/weak, I've begun to find blobs just kind of unfun.
It always just ends in "oh what's that? blob is on the shuttle? guess you're just fucked and nobody can get on the shuttle and they get knocked over and eaten. as usual"
EDIT: The only especial fun I've extracted from it was the time this one blob spread over so much of the station, he actually ate the AI, replaced its core with a nucleus, and replaced the turrets with slime launchers.
PS: Fuck the auto-end caused by beating the blob early on or the blob spreading through much through some random space bullshit. That's a garbage mechanic that does nothing but jackknife its way into rounds to arbitrarily end them. The game is perfectly capable of having latejoin antagonists. The way it works in dedicated blob rounds is you kill a nucleus, and if the game doesn't end you shit your pants and look for the next one. It's so predictable.
